PQ HONG KONG: VIETNAMESE REFUGEES
1.
Dr Edmund Marshall has put down the attached Question
for written answer. I attach a draft reply based on information
provided by Hong Kong.
2. Dr Marshall asks this Question regularly. The last time
was on 18 October, when there were 13,233 refugees in Hong Kong.
In the last 3 months there has been little change in overall
numbers, as arrivals have been balanced by resettlement
The drop of about 500 in the figures
opportunities.
provided for Sir P Wall's PQ on 15 December is largely due
to the repatriation of 328 ex-China cases on 17 December.
